We called our favorite sound designer in the world, Elettra Bargiacchi, and run the idea by her. She is excited, and ready to go!

Your support will help us create the First Season of Good Night Stories for Rebel Girls - The Podcast: 10 twelve-minute-long episodes + 1 Secret Episode that will only be available to Kickstarter backers.

One of the most beloved rewards (HURRY, this is limited to 250 backers!). Your one opportunity to include the name of your favorite girls in the Rebel Hall of Fame, among the girls who are going to change the world. This is only available for Kickstarter backers and it will go fast.

Backers who choose this reward will also receive two copies of Volume 2 signed by the authors.

When we launched our first campaign, we were two. Thanks to your support, over the past 12 months, our team has grown from 2 to 10 full time rebels. Building a company that embodies the same values as the book is one of the most inspiring challenges that this book brought to us.

Risks and challenges

Risks are low. We've done this before and we've delivered all our rewards on time! Plus, this time we can count on a bigger team of 10 people who are working with us every day to bring these new two fantastic projects to life. Our artists are already working on the new portraits, our manufacturer in Canada is ready to print, and our fulfillment centers in Chicago, Brooklyn, LA and San Francisco are up and running!
The podcast is a new challenge for us (as was the book, last year). However, this is not the first time we produce audio: in fact, we created 12 mobile apps before this book and each of them had a strong audio component (especially Timbuktu Magazine, for which we produced 50+ audio stories). In fact, Elettra Bargiacchi has worked as our sound designer for a very long time (that's how we know how exceptional she is). To further minimize risks for the production of the podcast, we are hiring a very experienced radio producer.
